I observed this: -0-1- ~/exp > rm e:/media/* zsh: sure you want to delete all the files in /home/FISRONA/exp/e:/media [yn]? n We see that zsh is catching the case that I want to rm all files in the specified directory, and warns me about it (note that it is a zsh error message, not a error message from rm), which is fine and expected behaviour (which can be controlled by the zsh option RM_STAR_SILENT). However, the path printed by zsh is wrong: It interprets e:/... as relative path, while it is an absolute path. It seems that zsh is not translating windows pathes using a drive letter to /cygdrive/... pathes in this case.
Some Cygwin applications do this translation, but not all. You're better off just using Posix paths.
